More Gelly, less Damien.

SEATTLE - The Sonics kick another game away, this time to the Golden State Warriors, 98 to 99 at Key Arena.

The Barron Davis shot, the missed FT by Lewis, thats nothing, Watson dribbling through a double team from the 3 point line only to caugh up the ball in the paint, twice, was a killer.

A another killer was the trash-talk game Wilkins was having with the GS back court, that went on long enough for that to grow into an elbow to a defender's face, another unforced turnover. Why does somebody do that? Maybe he doesn't care, maybe he never did. Maybe the coach picked the wrong swingman as part of the rotation, maybe the coach should have pulled Wilkins after he pump-faked Davis out of his jock, and hit a lean in bank shot, when the ball went to the end line for GS to pass the ball in for the next play, Wilkins slaps Davis on the back side and says something. Wilkins was having some personal thing going on out there, the coach should have cut that off ASAP. He either didn't notice, or he ignored it, either way that's not OK.

I think Gelabale would makes some mistakes, but not the selfish kind Damien Wilkins displayed last night.

More Gelly, less Damien.
More post ups in the 4th quarter, less plays that are planned around a 25 foot shot.
Less Watson with his hands on the ball in the half court, period.
